I was once a wet behind the ears guy that thought American politics was a debate amongst countrymen as to the proper course of our path as a country that might deviate a little left and a little right here and there but always find the median at some point.
No more.
Regardless of the issue, y'...

I know there have to be those here that listen to it.
Did anyone listen to the podcast this week about American auto manufacturing?
It is a PBS show. If it leans, it doesn't lean right.

As far as completed series go, Justified is in my top five of all time. It moves around behind The Wire and BB which will always be 1/2.
I couldn't believe it when I saw the Emmy nominations after it closed out this year. It was one of the most consistently fantastic series that has ever been on ...

We once had 5 receivers and never used them so we cut down to one and have been at one for a while. I decided that the one receiver we had would be used more in another room and tried to move it hooking it up just as it was in the other room.
Nothing worked.
Called Direct TV and they said tha...

Short version: Had problems the summer before last keeping the house cool in the heat of the day out of the blue.
Blamed it on having an older unit and got a whole new set up last Spring.
Unit is more than enough for my square footage. It's working fine. Blowing cool air. House cools right dow...

I am sure this has been discussed but not in a thread that I've been involved in.
Gilly's baby.
It's such a gigantic WTF? that the entire show has moved on for a few years at least and Gilly's baby is an infant even at the end of this last season.
She was knocked up with the baby at the sta...

Khe San, etc.
They are reanimated in July 2015 and watch TV.
Do they feel great that they died at 22 and didn't get to enjoy life so pissed off lesbians can get a cake baked or retarded a-holes can get the Dukes of Hazzard off the air?...

I have a S&W MP sport. While it is almost unanimously praised, it is always called an "entry level" AR.
Aside from being not mil spec without a dust cover and forward assist, why is it considered entry level? It's not like it is a composite wal mart AR.
The more expensive ARs seem to ship with...

Someone tell me why this doesn't feel like the Iranians are just telling us to go pound sand over and over and we keep extending the deadline asking them to play nice because we are weak and they don't fear us at all.
Kerry's statement sounds to me like a guy that can't get ground and is just gon...

210 million Americans between 16 and 68.
420 billion potential work hours using the full time employment standard as defined by the government.
The government stats show 240 billion hours of labor in 2014.
That is 42% non-utilization of the potential work force when we are told we are at 5....

Your challenge is to watch [link=(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJhQBZ1La0w)]this video[/link] and answer three simple questions without deflecting:
1.) Has Obama's views on gay marriage really changed since this interview or is he full of shit?
2.) Do you find it appropriate that he is not ...

Does it not bother anyone here on the left that Obama and Hillary were on record as being against gay marriage in recent years when you see them cheerleading today?
Total pass?
Doesn't make you feel creepy at all?

"Oh, these crazy conservatives with their silly paranoia"
We were just a bunch of nerds on a political board talking about this and that, it was all just entertainment.
WMD, blah, blah, Christmas decorations, blah blah, Supreme Court, blah blah.
All just entertainment to talk shite back and ...

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be bucking at the county fair.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.
They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a gi...

We have weathered a lot of stuff under the Great Uniter. Things seemed to go as they should with debates on the issues involved. Even in the midst of Ferguson and Baltimore it felt like speed bumps that we would sort out.
The aggressiveness that the left has shown on the Charleston shooting to bl...

I was OK with gay marriage and I still am but damn, it feels like our culture is getting bum rushed by weirdos and I'm wondering if those that warned us about gay marriage being a tipping point were not spot on. They might have said it would lead to people marrying their dog and that hasn't happened...
